Thomas William Bowler (1812-1869)
The artist fishing at Green Point, Cape of Good Hope, with the lighthouse beyond
signed with initial 'B'(?) (on the portfolio lower right), with inscription 'Green Point / Cape of Good Hope / 1850-53.' on the reverse
watercolour with scratching out on paper
7 ¾ x 11 ¾in. (19.8 x 29.9cm.)
A top hatted figure, presumably Bowler, is fishing off the point (replacing here the usual Malay fisherman who appears in his coastal scenery), the artist's portfolio with the two seated ladies in the foreground.
